iNavX relies on iOS to download the charts from the NOAA server. It makes no differentiation if it's a WiFi or cell connection or iPhone or iPad or version of iOS. The time out is set at 30 seconds which should be plenty for both types of network connections. I wonder why it's taking a few minutes before iNavX gives up trying to download the chart.
Do recommend you update to iOS 3.2.2 for your iPad in case there was any changes by Apple in the network stack.
Using iPad/iNavX 3.1.6 and a WiFi connection (802.11N) I was just able to download all the NOAA East Coast charts without issue. Also no reports from iNavX users having difficulty with WiFi downloads. Once in a while I will get a report of difficulty with a cell connection. To be expected with AT&T's sometimes very challenged network.
One thing you could try is accessing the NOAA website on your iPad with Safari and see if it loads consistently ..
